"AND USING (ah, too many
people say they want public transportation and then don't use it!)"
A lot of public transportation is not safe.
I tend to dress differently and can easily become a target for xenophobia. A
car provides protection. I would say a great deal of my negativity towards
public transportation has to do with this safety issue.
Also, I am subject to frailty, and irregular timing of buses plus no weather
sheltering makes it more difficult.
Also, I am a night person, and there is rarely public transportation of any
reliability at night.
I'm not complaining. These are legitimate grievances that if solved would go a
long way towards facilitating my entry into the public transpo system.
Also, it's not cheap.
